Fake News Classification

Roshni K.

As fake news becomes more of a problem across the US, its consequences are becoming more and more damaging. This project aims to combat this disinformation through an artificial intelligence algorithm that can classify real articles versus fake ones.


As fake news becomes more of a problem across the US, its consequences are becoming more and more damaging. Many viewers who interact with information online are unable to distinguish the difference between fake information and real information, especially with social media worsening the spread of fake articles. This project aims to combat this disinformation through an artificial intelligence algorithm that can classify real articles versus fake ones. The model utilizes a BERT model and is tested on two different datasets, the Kaggle dataset and the LIAR dataset. The results are also presented through an app where readers can input any article and immediately find out whether it contains false information or not.

Building an Optimized algorithm that provides summaries of legal documents

The legal industry is built around documents as they provide evidence and reduce doubt in the court. Due to the large volume of documentation in the legal industry, the processing and summarization of these documents is important to a number of individuals. We were able to create a user interface that allows for the input of documents and makes use of the algorithm we created to output a summary of the document which can be copied by the user.

Is GPT-3 smarter than a sixth-grader?

Question answering (QA) and Large Language models (LLM) have been a major research focus in Artificial Intelligence for several years. In 2017, a task called Textbook Question Answering (TQA) was introduced. The task included lessons from a middle school science textbook consisting of texts, diagrams, and natural questions. Many people attempted to create question answer models but reported sub-par accuracies.
